In 1970, 25-year-old Texan Kenny Wayne Hagler released the first and only album of his band on his own label, Candy Records: Kenny Wayne and The Kamotions – In Motion.

A psychedelic garage rock band from Texarkana covering James Brown? That sounded intriguing to me—and it is! A bit offbeat and overly enthusiastic, but full of raw energy—exactly the kind of record I love.

Fun fact: When I read the liner notes, I was quite surprised to see: Recording Engineer – George Clinton. But I quickly had to realize: Nope, not that George Clinton!
